I Like To Whine

As a former teacher, guidance counselor and current parent
and grandparent, I am distinctly cognizant that as far as kids go, there are no
experts. Expertise is based on experience and learning. We may learn out of the
same books but each and every one of us have different experiences with our own
families. Kids whine, good kids and kids that aren't so good, they all whine.
Many times their intent isn't to whine and sometimes that is exactly what they
intend. Whining isn't indicative of a "bad" kid. It is normal. Normal doesn't make it
any easier to listen to, day in and day out. If this book, aimed at
preschoolers, can even slow down some of the whining, it will be a monumental
contribution to parental mental health. Hopefully it will make your child smile
and perhaps you too, can smile seeing the normalcy of their behavior. If
nothing else, this book may help you to appreciate how good your own child
really is.I Like To Whine can be ordered at Amazon or your local book store. ISBN-10: 1442131721ISBN-13: 978-1442131729

Reviews of I Like To Whine

Barbara J. Smith - Author and Freelance Editor Blog Dec.11, 2009 To whine or not to whine. This book helps solve the problem. A whining child will drive any parent a little bit nuts. But, let’s face it, we all whine to some extent. This book shows how annoying whining can be but in a very funny way. The author shows various whining scenarios with different animals. Some examples are quite common like refusing to eat, share toys, or clean his/her room. A wise owl explains the result of the animals’ actions or non-actions. Each case gets across the point but makes it funny and light-hearted. And, both the child and parent will see how annoying and unproductive it is when someone constantly whines. The illustrations are great. This book will teach a lesson while making both the child and parent laugh. I highly recommend I Like to Whine.
